Course Goal / Objective
Advanced classification techniques, object-oriented analysis approaches and artificial intelligence supported classification methods will be discussed. Using ArcGIS Pro and related advanced tools, object-oriented classification, machine learning and deep learning algorithms, classification processes will be handled practically in different subjects.
Course Content
In order to provide the ability to apply advanced classification methods and modern analysis techniques in the field of remote sensing, this course, which is built on basic classification knowledge, covers classification approaches based on current machine learning and deep learning algorithms such as object-oriented image analysis (OBIA), random forest (Random Forest), support vector machines (SVM), artificial neural networks (ANN) and convolutional neural networks (CNN). In addition, multi-source data integration (e.g. Lidar, SAR, hyperspectral images), temporal change analysis and classification on big data platforms (Google Earth Engine, ArcGIS Image Server) are also included in the course. The course aims to provide students not only technical knowledge but also analytical thinking, algorithm selection and workflow design skills. At the end of the term, students are expected to be able to apply effective classification methods on complex and large data sets and to be able to perform meaningful spatial analyses using advanced software tools.
Course Precondition
There is no pre requires.
